Today my motto is "There is no time- or is there nothing but time?"It's a part of the poem "Eb" by Vasalis.It has traveled with me through my life for 24 years now.It always remembers me of Wim and Loes... Last year he "went out of time"; where Loes hardly has any idea about time.They gave me such a richdom of thoughts...I remember them this day.

Before I bike to the market, I work on my jigsaw puzzle. A few years ago I bought this great jigsaw in America-shape: "The United States in license plates". Thousand pieces, very difficult, but very cool. I already saw it was also available in State birds and State flowers... All 1000 pieces, all in America-shape. We bought them during our last vacation, via Jeska. But ever since; no time. They just layed there on top of the bookshelves...Waiting till I had the time... and guess what? Today I do have time!

I take my bike to go to the market. A cup of coffee at a special place "De Oude Bieb"de Oude BiebDoing my groceries: a little meat, bread, nuts, and the pre-ordered partridges. I always see people I know: so a little chat here and a little chat there...On the way back I see her walking: warm cozy hat, warm coat, and always those twinkly eyes. I like her so much. She calls to me: "I think about you a lot you know! Don't think I forget you!" I step off my bike. And say "Well, that's nice to hear! I like the thought of you thinking of me!" I compliment her with her hat. He looks good on her. We talk a while, and she says, "I will get in touch!" and I respond "When its our time, we will meet.""Ain't that right" she says.What a gift, a conversation like this."There is no time- or is there nothing but time?"
